That "kid" was the size of a grizzly bear. When you are in close quarters you can't use pepper spray...you are basically spraying yourself. You can't use a taser. When you taze someone who is on top of you you are tazing yourself. The dude was going for his gun. How do you see any other option than to shoot the giant aggressive bastard?
The officer was not small himself... He was 6'1 210 pounds while Brown was 6'1 290. They are both big guys.... You can pepper spray up close... I can't comment on a taser as he doesn't carry a taser(his personal preference.Look at over youtube when cops spray people,protesters,etc up close. Also Guns have holsters, they can't just be grabbed out in an instant from the wrong angle. He could have called for back up while in the car, drove off, got a baton, spray him,etc. So many options. But no he has to shoot an unarmed person 6 times. He couldn't even aim for the knee. Dead men tell no tales. Just like Gardner, he is dead, everyone knows the cops killed him without just cause just like Brown.
http://countercurrentnews.com/2014/12/only-witness-to-back-officer-darren-wilson/ Wow, I wonder what will happen... Will they go for a retrial? also...
It doesn't matter because we know for a fact the the witness on Browns side was lying for sure. The autopsy report proved it.
Seriously, I wonder how many people protesting and rioting have gone through the grand jury reports. Because it's all in there, and objectively, while it's not clear beyond doubt exactly what happened, there's no point in trying him because there's absolutely zero chance of a conviction.
Since it's all there for them to read I am going out on a limb and say most are to illiterate to read it.
People jump at the chance to blame their situation and failures on someone or something else, in this case it's racism and cops. To admit it was Brown's own actions that lead to his death would mean maybe they are responsible for their own circumstances.
I mean if I was there the first store Ida hit woulda been the pharmacy, but a chain not a mom and pop.... Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The witness who got Darren Wilson off is a KNOWN racist, bi-polar and WASN'T EVEN THERE EVEN THO SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN THE WHOLE THING So FUCK the grand jury report. It's full of lies that people who are secretly racist drink up like the grape kool aid us black people love. And DONT tell me none of yous don't have racist leanings. Your true colors have been more than exposed in this thread.
Looks like there maybe justice in the future... A retrial might happen this time with a special prosecutor. http://www.aol.com/article/2014/12/19/prosecutor-some-ferguson-witnesses-clearly-lied/21119156/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl2%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D586003
I would have incited violence as an anonymous third party and watch when SHTF. The government has been known to use the same tactics over the last 50 years, they even still do it today in protests.
